SUPPORT non soArFoLDs AND THE LIKE.

Application filed May 25, 1926, Serial No. 111,648, and in Germany May27', 1925.

This invention consists in a support for scaffolds and the like whichmay be used n connection with masonry work for being anchored therein.The support accordlng to this invention may also advantageously beembedded 'into the masonry work when erectbeam of T-shapedcross-section, said beam.

projecting for its greater length from the wall and being upwardly bentat its free end.

The beam is'arranged with its vertical mid dle-web projecting upwardly.The means for fastening the support to the wall 1s preferablyconstructed in such a manner that the fastening members enter the Wallwithin the horizontal joints between the bricks or stones of the walland outside the reach of the upright-joints. Thejdevice serving forfastening the support upon the wall may preferably be constructed insuch a-manner'that it will H embrace the beam which forms the mainpartof the support. This fastening device may 7 further be equipped withmembers preferablyin the form of arms which are pivotally connected tosaid device and further holding or anchoring means may be providedpassing through the free ends of said arms into a horizontal jointbetween the stones or bricks forming the wall. On the side of the wallopposite to the main or projecting part of the support there arepreferably provided a plurality of bores in the beam of the support.These bores are spaced in such a manner that they will correspond toseveral thicknesses of the wall. In order to prevent said beam orsupport from being pulled out of brick, and F 2 being a view takenon therear of the wall together withthe support accordingto this invention.

In the drawing a designates a wall of the thickness of one half of abrickdength, b an iron beam of T-shaped cross-section, said beam servingon its right-hand end as a supporting'member for the scaffold or thelike and being carried on its left-hand. end through the wall. A brace 0serves as a reinforcing member for the beam 6, said brace being furtherconnected with said beam by a connecting piece 03. A holding member fembraces the cross-section of the beam 6 and isplaced, upon theleft-hand end of .the-bealn b at the rear of the wall. .1 Two arms gare}pivoted tothe holding member f said arms having openings on their freeends, through which the anchor bolts 72. are inserted, said boltspassing into a horizontal joint between the bricks of the Wall.

As may be seen from Fig. 2 the iron beam I) having a T-shapedcross-section and being bent in upward. direction on its free end is.

betweenthe bricks. Near the left-hand end.

of the beam 6 openings at are provided preferably in the web of saidbeam, as may be seen from Fig. 1, said openings being spaced so as tocorrespond to several thicknesses of a wall. A wire 0 which is bent to:U-shape,

is passed through one of said openings 0?. im-

mediately in the rear ofthe holding member,

said wire 0 thus preventing the holding member 7 from moving towards theleft, as shown in Fig. 1. The support, as above 'described, may beinserted into the wall during erection of the same or also into thecompleted wall, if so desired, by removing the mortar at the properplaces from the joints between the bricks of the wall. In order tofurther fasten the support on the wall a wooden wedge 37 maybe'provided, as shown in Fig. 1 whereby the effect of the anchor boltsit may be further increased.

The support as described and claimed herein may be used not only as asupport for scafiolds but also for further devices which may be fastenedto the wall.

I claim 1 1. A scafiold support comprising a sub-- end thereof adaptedto be passed entirely through and beyond a wall, a holding memherembracing saidend afterbeing passedthrough the wall, a pair of armspivoted to said member and extending below the same, and-means to fastenthe ends of said arms to the wall. r

2. A scaffold support comprising a substantially horizontal supportingbeam T shaped in cross section one end thereof to be passed entirelythrough-and beyond a wall at the meeting of vertical and horizontalmortar joints, the web of said end having longi-.

tudinally spaced perforations, a holding member embracing said end, anarm pivoted to each end of said member, and means for securing said armsto the wall considerably below said end. i

3. A support for building construction comprising a beam T-shaped incross section having its middle flange upwardly directed, and meansforanchoring the end of the beam opposite to its loaded end to a point ofthe building below said beam to prevent upward movement of said endopposite to the loaded end. i

4. A support for building constructions comprising a supporting beam andmeans to anchor the end of the beam oppositeto its loaded end to a pointof the building below the said beam to prevent upward movement of saidend opposite to the loaded end,.said means being adjustable for alteringthe vertical distance between the beam' and said point of thejbuilding.

5; A support for building constructions comprising a supporting beam andmeans to anchorthe end of the beam opposite to its loaded end to a pointof the building below the said beam to prevent upward movement of saidend opposite to the'loaded end, said means being pivotable for alteringthe vertical'distance between the beam and said point of the building.

6; A support for building constructions comprising a supporting beam tobe passed through a building'wall, and means to anchor the end of thebeam opposite to its loaded'end to a point ofsaid building wall belowthe said building.

beam to prevent upward movement of said end opposite to the loaded end,said'means being adjustable for altering the vertical distance betweenthebeam and saidpoint of the end opposite'to theloaded end, said means 1being adjustable for altering the vertical distance between the beam andsaid point of the building wall.

8. A support for building constructions comprising a supporting beam andmeansextending below' the same for anchoring the end-of the beamopposite to its loaded end to at least two points of the building belowthe said beam and horizontally distanced one from another to prevent.upward movement of said end opposite to the loaded end; 7

9. A support for building constructions comprising a supporting beamand'means extending below the same for anchoringthe end of the beam oppositeto its loaded end to at least two points of the building. below the saidbeam and horizontally distanced" one from another to prevent upwardmovement of said end opposite to the loaded end, said means beingadjustable for altering the vertical distance between the beam and. saidpoints ofthe building.

10. A support for building constructions comprising a supportingbeam andmeans extending below the same for anchoring the end of the beamopposite to its loaded end toat least two points ofthe building belowthe said beam'and horizontally distanced'one from another to preventupward 'movement of said endopposite to theloaded end said meanscomprising a holding member em racing said end, a pair of arms pivotedto said member and extending below the same and means to fasten the endsof said arms to the In testimony whereoflaflix my signature.
